I think this new book is worth looking into...def. has a King vibe to it, and it's very creepy, especially the first 300 or so pages.

I have a full review on Amazon, and check it out for more info - but the book was very good, and I don't throw around high praise that lightly!

Looks like she will be doing a signing in the area on 9/4, may be I will check it out.

I'm really looking forward to this book. I've got a copy coming to me soon. So far what I've seen reminds me a little of House of Leaves by Danielewski.

Yes. I took Rahfa's advice and bought an ARC on eBay. I am starting it today. I also bought a copy of her earlier book for later on.

I am about 2/3 of the way through this book and liking it quite a bit.

She had posters made for 6 of Cordova's films and wrote a few trailers and short films for the book as well.

If I can clear my work schedule I may head to one of the Chicago area signings on Wednesday.

I have an ARC on the way to me, so it would be nice to get that signed.

I wasn't able to make the signing, but I did call ahead and order a signed copy.

Arc and signed 1st/1st:

I really liked this book. I was able to get a copy from the event on the official publication day in NYC. The guy I got it from said he thought he was the only dealer getting copies for resale. Might be a tough one down the road for those of us who obsess over dated signatures.

Based on all your comments, I just ordered a signed copy from a bookstore on her tour. Looking forward to reading this.


P.s. Congrats, Bob.

Ugh, her signing was cancelled in Philly. Poo!

Patrick, what store did you order from?

I ordered from the store in San Francisco. The book arrived the other day. They ensured it was a first printing and they packed it well.

I'm enjoying this book despite it moving so slowly.

I want to get a signed first edition of this but can't seem to pull the trigger.

This book is now out in paperback...I really liked it. You can read my Amazon review at the top.

Creepy, well-plotted, good use of images within the text. Unsettling in a good way.
